What’s the deal?

Borrowers can obtain up to 90% financing, with up to 40% from Bay Colony at a 10, 20 or 25-year below market fixed rate and 50% from the participating lender at a conventional market rate.

Who can borrow?

Almost all types of businesses are eligible. Review the general eligibility guidelines to see if you are eligible.

What can the money be used for?

Acquisition, improvement or new construction of fixed assets including owner occupied commercial real estate as well as equipment with a useful economic life of 10 years or more can be financed by a 504 loan. Almost all soft costs can be included.
